    • Kyle Finnegan nets 13th save on Tuesday
      Kyle Finnegan tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday against the White Sox to collect his 13th save of the season.

      Advice: Finnegan’s streak of 11 consecutive hitless innings came to a close when he gave up a one-out single to Andrew Benintendi. Yet, he managed to scatter a pair of hits in the frame, thanks to a couple ground outs and a strikeout of Nicky Lopez to end the contest, preserving a three-run lead in the opening contest of Tuesday’s doubleheader. He’s converted 13 of 14 save chances this season to go along with a 1.56 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 17/8 K/BB ratio across 17 1/3 innings (18 appearances). He’s been one of the best closers in baseball for fantasy purposes so far. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:29 pm
       
    • Structural damage in shoulder
      Imaging revealed structural damage in Lee's left shoulder Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Lee landed on the injured list Monday due to a dislocated shoulder, though it appears he may be at risk of missing an extended period of time. The 25-year-old outfielder will receive a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, at which point more will be known about the duration of Lee's absence. Luis Matos has started both games in center field for the Giants since Lee went down. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:45 pm
       
    • Jung Hoo Lee has structural damage in shoulder
      An MRI revealed structural damage in Jung Hoo Lee’s left shoulder.

      Advice: It’s not good. Lee is facing an extended absence after dislocating his left shoulder over the weekend when he collided with the center-field wall at Oracle Park. The 25-year-old outfielder will visit Dr. Neil ElAttrache later this week for a second opinion to determine whether he’ll require surgery, which would most likely be season-ending. There should be an additional update on his status in the coming days. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:38 pm
       
    • Lands on IL
      The Brewers placed Hoskins on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: Hoskins tweaked his hamstring while running to first base during Monday's game against Pittsburgh and had to come out of the game. He'll now miss at least the next 10 days because of his injury, likely spelling more reps at first base for Jake Bauers and Owen Miller, the latter who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

    • Rhys Hoskins lands on IL with hamstring strain
      Brewers placed 1B Rhys Hoskins on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: No word yet on the severity of the injury, but it sounds like the Brewers want to give Hoskins at least a couple days to rest and recover. The 31-year-old slugger was just starting to really heat up again at the dish, so the timing is a bit unfortunate. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days as it sounds like Milwaukee is still gathering medical information. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:58 pm

    • George Springer (illness) out again on Tuesday
      George Springer (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Springer is sitting out for the second straight contest and fourth time in the last five contests due to an ongoing viral illness. It’ll be on-base machine Davis Schneider, who also boasts the fifth-best barrel percentage in baseball this season, taking over the leadoff spot in his continued absence.

    • Sitting again Tuesday
      Springer (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Baltimore.

      Advice: Springer returned to action Sunday after missing two games with an illness, and he's out of the lineup again Tuesday for the second straight day. It's unclear if he's expected to be back in action for Wednesday's series finale. Cavan Biggio is starting in right field versus the Orioles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:15 pm
       
    • Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) not in Tuesday’s lineup
      Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Pirates.

      Advice: It seems like there’s a possibility Hoskins will manage to avoid a trip to the injured list after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday to determine the severity of a right hamstring. The 31-year-old slugger appears headed for a second opinion at the moment. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in the coming days. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. All indications are that it would be Owen Miller, not top prospect Tyler Black, coming up to take his roster spot if he lands on the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:09 pm

    • Not in Tuesday's lineup
      Hoskins (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Pirates, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

      Advice: Hoskins had to depart Monday's loss to Pittsburgh because of a right hamstring injury. He underwent an MRI and is slated to receive a second opinion, so there's no word yet on a possible trip to the injured list. Owen Miller has been added to the Brewers' taxi squad in case a roster move is ultimately required. Jake Bauers will handle first base for the Brewers on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:42 pm
